No Taste in the Tip Of the Tongue.

From the Boston Journal OF Commerce.
Strictly speaking, with the tip OF the
tongue one can't taste at all. II you
put a small drop of honey Or oil of
bitter almonds ON that part OF the
mouth you will find, no doubt, to
yourgreat surprise, that it produces no
effect OF any sort; you only taste it
when it begins slowly to diffuse itself,
and reaches the true tasting region in
the middle distance. But if you put
little cayenne Or mustard on the same
part You will find that 1t bites you
immediately-the experiment should
be tried sparingly-while if you put it
lower down in the mouth you will
swallow it almost without noticing
the pungency of the stimulant. The
reason is that the tip of the tongue is
supplied only with the nerves which
are really nerves of touch, not nerves
OF taste proper; they belong to total
ly different main branch, and they go
to different center in the brain. to-
gether with the very similar threads
which supply the nerve OF smell from
mustard and pepper. That is why
substances are so much alike, as
everybody must have noticed, a good
sniff at a mustard pot producing al
most the same irritating effects as an
incautious mcuthfui. When one is
trying deliberate experiments on the
subject, in order to test the varying
constituencies OF the different parts to
different substances it is necessary to
keep the tongue quite dry, in order to
isolate the thing you are experiment.
ing with and prevent it's spreading to
all parts of the mouth together In
actual practice this result is obtained
in rather ludicrous manner-by
blowing upon the tongue betweaa
each experiment with a pair of bel
lows. To such undignified expedients
does the pursuit OF science lead the
modern psychologist.

Managing for Eggs.

In relation to failures in the care OF
fowls, the Dakota Farmer says: When
the poultyman has made his prepara-
tions and begun his operations, he is
often disappointed at not receiving a
tair return iii eggs for the attention
and care bestowed. The majority OF
failures arise with those who have Civ
en- the fowls all they can eat, and
with a liberal supply OF ground
oyster shells, ground bone, gravel,
fresh water, and green food, no eggs
reward the persevering poultryman
The cause of failure is that the hens
are overfed It is always a mistake
to keep food before them, and
though q variety should be given, care
must be exercised not to feed g. full
meal except at night. 1.-THE food is so
given that the hens will not be salts
fed with the quantity they have receiv-
ed they will hunt for more and keep bu.
silly at work. This avoids idleness and
prevents them from pulling feathers or
becoming too fat. In the morning the
soft food may be given, but it is best
not to give quite enough rather than q
full allowance. Then scatter g. few
grains Ia cut straw, dirt, or litter, and
let them get to. work scratching. At
night give q full meal. BY keeping the
hens warn, busy, and in moderate
condition they will lay well. $3.50

How to Oil Harness.

Mr.. j. w. Foote, Hansen, Neb., tells
the Indiana Farmer of two brothers
who bought at the same time each a.
set of farm harness made by him from
the same lot of leather. One, by prop
or care, kept his in good order for over
ten years; the other ''never oiled his,
but used it in wet and mud, and in
three years it was hard and dry, and
cracked and ripped, SO as to benearly
worthless. For all this, of course, he
blamed the harnessmaker. Those
who prefer to copy the example OF the
former are advised as follows:
"Never oil a harness when dry.
Never hang til in sun to dry or for the
oil to strike in. Some leisure day in
spring, fall or winter, take the harness
into the cellar or some damp place;
take all apart, and soak Thoroughly in
warm water. Then wash off all dirt
and gum and when nearly dry on out
side put on, with swab or brush, g.
heavy coat OF oil, either best tanners
or best neatsfoot oil, with juste nough
lampblack to color it WE'LL Lay in q
pile in the shade till the oil soaks in.
If very dry and hard it will pay to put
on second coat. When well soaked
in, take CASTLE soapsuds and a coarse
rag and wash it we'll. This closes the
pores, gives it a gloss and prevents
cracking. If this be properly done
twice a year the harness will keep nice
as new and add one-half to it's dura-
bility."

How to Roast Nest.

In Emma Z. Ewing Dean, Of the
School Of Domestic Economy az the
Iowa Agricultural College, says:
sSss 6 n roasting meats of all kinds the.
method. adopted should be the one;
.thatin the most perfect manner pre-
serves all the juices inside the meat.
To roast beef in the best possibis man
ner:: Place the clean cut side sof the
meat upon . smo king hot pan. which
must be over q quick fire. Press it
close to the pan until scared and slight
IL brown, Reverse and let the oppo-
site side become similarly scared
and brown. Then put it at once in
the oven, the heat Of which should be
firm and steady, but not too intense,
and leave it undisturbed till cooked
The time that should be allowed for
cooking beef in this manner is twenty
minutes to the pound. if it is TO be
rare-less half an hour, deducted from
the aggregate time on account Of scar.
ing. In other words, five pound Of
roast beef will require about an hour
and g. quarter, a six-pound roast an
hour and half, and So on. III F.
Ii the oven is not too hot the beef
requires no basting, and is better
without it. When the oven is at the
proper temperature and the cooking
is going on all right, the meat will keep
up a gentle sputtering in the pan. II,
upon opening the door, this sputtering
is not perceptible, more heat is re-
quired. But if, in addition to the
sputterlng, any smoke is discernible
in the oven, the heat is too intense
and should be lessened. Unless the heat
of the oven is too great the drippings
III the pan will not burn and smoke,
and when the meat is cooked there
will be a thin coating OF brown jelly in
the pan, where the meat rested, which,
by the addition of stock or water, will
make q delicious gravy.
A roast beef should never be washed
and if it has accidentally been wet or
moistened, it should be carefully wiped
dry before it is scared or put to cook.
Soaring almost instantly coats the cut
side of d piece of meat and prevents
the escape OF juices in the after pro-
cess Of roasting, while a firm, steady
heat gently but thoroughly cooks it,
and thus both juice and flavor are
preserved. Basting is q troublesome
as well as damaging process, And as
salt and water have tendency to
tougher and extract the juices OF meat
they should not be used on it while
roasting, if it is desired to have the
meat sweet, juicy and tender.

How Farmers Make Money.

Successful farmers andmodel manag-
ers do not make money by chance or
accident. They are thinking men, and
plan their work beforehand, SO as
that no time is lost and all the help
kept employed. Many farmers fail in
making their farms profitable for
want of order. Whether on the small
farm where the work is all done by
the owner, or on q large farm where
the work is done by several hands,
there must be a regular and early
hour for rising. Each hand or man
should know on the evening previous:

Muscle-Forniing Foods.

Upon the question OF flood the Farm.
ers' Magazine lately printed an article
from which the following is taken:
The need of our animals is not so
much fat-forming foods as bone and
1nuscle-making. For fat-forming no
food is better than corn, but to give
bone and muscle with which to do the
work Of the farm or the road some.
thing that will make bone and muscle
is required. At the head OF all these
foods stands oil-meal, with from 25
to 35 per cent. OF bone and muscle.
forming food. Following this are oats,
25 per cent; beans rs per cent; peas.
20 per cent; rye and barley, IL to Is
per cent. Bran has from Is
to 25 per cent. and middlings
about Is. Oil-meal, on &C
count OF it's richness in muscle food
and it's medicinal qualities, is an ex-
cellent food, but it's cost puts it out Of
reach, and other foods may be used at
less cost, and therefore with greater
profit than the oil meal. Bran and
middlings can be often purchased at a
low price, and it is therefore better to
feed them than oil-meal, though some
ol-meal will always be an advantage
to the stock. The waste products of
the mill it will thus be seen, make g.
very valuable food in making bone
and muscle. OF the grain, oats stand
at the head. Where che cost is no
greater, the oil-meal is the best food.
Corn is not good food for working
animals, especially in the working sea.

Miss Nuloch Talks About What Wives May Do For
Their Husbands.

Dinah Craig Muloch, the author of
"John Halifax, Gentleman" writes a
bit that all those who intend to be-
come wives will be interested in. She
begins by saying that a man can't be
expected to save money: OF course
she is sarcastic; but in a moment she
grows earnest and urges women to
study economies. Listen: "From the
day when her baby fingers begin to
handle pence and shillings, anu her in
FAINT mind is reused to laudible ambi-
ton by the possession OF the enor-
nous income OF three-pence a week,
she ought to be taught the true value
and wise expenditure of money, to
keep accounts and balance them; to
repay the minutest debt, or still bet
ter, to avoid mourning it; to observe
the just proportions of having and
spending, and, above all, the golden
rule for every one OF us, whether our
income be six-pence a week Or twenty
thousand a year-waste nothing.
May not the growing Discrimination
of our young men to marriage arise
partly from their dread, nay, convic-
tion-alas, too true!-that SO few of
our young women have been thus edu-
